The front door is locked, Tuesday, July 31, 2012, and marked 'No Trespassing' outside the apartment of James Holmes in Aurora.

James Eagan Holmes has officially been evicted from his Aurora apartment and all of his belongings have been removed by his lawyers, the Adams County Sheriff’s office said.

Default judgment for possession was granted Wednesday, meaning the unit is no longer a crime scene and will be available for rent at the landlord’s discretion.

“There was still some personal property there, like clothing and his bed, but that was all recently removed by his public defenders,” Adams County sheriff’s spokesman Terrance O’Neill said.

Deputies will do a quick walk-through with the landlord on Monday or Tuesday, which is when possession of the apartment will be transferred, O’Neill said.

Even though Holmes has been jailed since July 20 for allegedly killing 12 people and wounding 58 others watching a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” he was technically still a tenant at 1690 Paris St., said Victor Sulzer, an attorney with the firm representing the landlord.

Holmes was evicted because he “murdered numerous individuals, materially and substantially damaged the premises and booby-trapped the premises substantially endangering property and person,” the notice stated.

Holmes had stuffed about 30 plastic shells used in aerial fireworks with gunpowder, turning them into grenades, filled glass jars with gasoline and gunpowder, and had 10 gallons of gasoline on hand, some of it in bottles, said a law-enforcement source close to the investigation.

The gasoline would have fed flames, drastically increasing the damage from any explosion, the source said.

All evictions must go through the same legal steps, no matter the individual or circumstance, Sulzer said.
